The present invention relates to an improved window construction and hasfor its prime object to provide sashes mounted in.

a frame in a weather-proof manner so that the sashes may slide withaminimum of friction.

Another very important object of the invention resides in the provisionof a window structure which afi'ords ease of assembly and disassembly.

A further very important object of the invention resides in theprovision of a window structure-of this nature which is simple,inexpensive to manufacture and install,

strong and durable, thoroughly efficient and reliable in use, andotherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescrip tion proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel featuresof construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts as willbe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing:

that the main frame comprises upright side and horizontal top portions.

The side portions of the frame include the outer spaced plates 5, theinner face plates 6 and the plates 7. The plates 7 have their edgesreceived in grooves 8 of the plates 5 and ingrooves 9 of the plates 6.Partitions 10 divide a space between the plates 5 and 6 in the twocompartments or the sash weights. 6

The top portion 1 is similarly constructed including outer face plates11, inner face plate 13 receivable in grooves 14 and 15 respectively ofplates 11 and 12.

The parts thus far described are mounted in the window way and left toallow the masons and other workmen to complete their work before thewindow structure is completed. 4

A sill 16 is put in assembled position in the frame and weatherproofedin respect to the masonry 17 as indicated at 18. This sill is providedon its upper face with a longitudinally extending rib 19. Strips 20 arefastened to plates 7 by means of screws 21 or in any other suitablemanner. The strips 20 are formed in sections leading along diagonallines 22, Figure 7.

Each strip 20 is provided with a pair of ribs or rails R separated by apartition P. A strip 23 is secured to the plate 13 on the bottom surfacethereof and has a longitudinally extending rib 24. The strip 23 isheldin place by means of a strip 28 and by having one edge in the groove14.

' The strips 20 are held in place by molding 26 and have edges ingrooves 8. The sashes 27 and 28 are provided in their side rails withgrooves 29 to receive the ribsR. The top rail of the lower sash 27 andthe bottom rail of the'top sash 28 have hook like interlockingprojections 30 on their adjacent faces, Figure 5, to prevent rattling ofthe sashes when closed and to prevent draft between these two rails. a

The top rail of the upper sash is provided with a groove 31 to recelvethe rib 27 while the lower rail of the bottom sash is provided with agroove 32 to receive the rib 19.

' Sash cords 33 are fastened to the sashes in the usual well knownmanner and extend through openings 34 over pulleys 35 housed as at 36.This sash cord pulle structure is .well known in the art being 0 theinvisible i rom the above detailed description it will be seen that Ihave devised an improved window construction which has features of easeof assembly and disassembly. It will be seen that this design does awaywith the loose parting bead and saves the interior painting of the framewhere the loose bead requires a new paint job after the replacement ofnew cords.

It will further be seen that I have devised a Window structure whichaffords the ad'- vantage of ease of operation. It is preferable toconstruct the strip 20 and the sill 16 of linseed oil soaked lumber soas to eliminate friction as much as possible and to strengthen thewoodwork against the elements.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of thisinvention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this artwithout a more detailed description thereof. The present embodiment ofthe invention has been disclosed in detail merely by way of examplesince in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumeratedas desirable in the statement of the invention and the abovedescription.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and inthe combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter morefully described and claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is: r

1. In a window structure, a frame having uprights with outer and innerspaced plates,

one pair of said plates being provided with vertical grooves, sidestrips between and at right angles to said outer and inner platesdisposed in said grooves, each side stri being provided with verticallyextending integral ribs and an integral partition between and spaced byvertical grooves from the ribs, a pair of sashes having grooved siderails receiving said ribs and portions disposed in said grooves, andholding sections detachably connected to certain of said plates andlapping over and holding the side strips in position.

2. In a window structure, a frame having a top portion with outer andinner vertically disposed spaced plates, one plate being grooved at itsinner side, a horizontal top plate having an integral rib pendenttherefrom, said top plate being disposed in said groove, meansdetachably attached to the other plate and arranged to lap under andretain the top plate in position, and a sash disposed in the frame andhaving its upper rail grooved to receive said rib.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
